AB-testing and content management in urbanairship push notifications - urbanairship.com

https://www.urbanairship.com/products/pricing
From the pricing there is available in the comprehensive package offering something called the "message center". In combination with the AB-testing does this mean there is some functionality similar to Mailchimp?
Ideally we are looking for a push notification system that can send push notifications with a content id... the content then be content managed y the marketing dept.?

What you're looking for is a different feature that Urban Airship provides, Message Personalization; this allows you to define push notifications with (optional) merge fields to a pre-defined template which can be updated by the marketing department.
Just for completeness, the other features you list above solve different problems:
A/B testing is multivariate testing; you can define multiple messages to send to percentages of your audience, and see which one performs better
Message Center is an in-application "inbox" to which you can send messages

Github actions notifications to slack of all repos

Can any one help me how to integrate github actions with slack.
My Exact point is for every push,pull on any repo in my github the notification should be popup in slack
If you are interested in just receiving notifications from Slack on push/pull events (and others), there are first-class Slack applications that do it. For example, check out this one.
If you are looking for a more customizable solution, where you can formulate the specific message you want to send when very specific conditions are met within your Github actions, check out Slack incoming webhooks. They allow you to send an arbitrary message to slack with a simple HTTP POST request, using something as low key as curl.
If you are looking for a systematic solution rather than solving this problem for yourself in a one-off way, there are more considerations.

CC documents to third party sent to signer for view only in envelope

We have the need to send a different email to a third party (with a different template to that received by the signers) at the same time as emailing the docs to the signers. Third party will be viewing documents only sent to signers. We need to do it using restapi call.
See image attached for template and view document button.
You might be able to do this with Document Visibility -- making the special template viewable to only the extra cc person. (And making all of the other content not visible to that person.)
First use this guide to try out Document Visibility by using the DocuSign web tool. Once it is working to your satisfaction, you can use the API to automate the process.

How to send alerts in APIC Test and Monitor?

On the introduction page for the 'APIC Test and Monitor tool' one of the listed features is 'Get alerts on your API Health'. However once inside the tool I can't find any reference on how to generate alerts...
Is it already possibble? Or just an idea for the future?
Great question, thank you for asking. You are absolutely right, we are working on shipping notification/alerts as a pluggable ecosystem. We are building a fully featured API and Webhooks, any platform that leverages an API can be used, as well as email and SMS.
Out of the box we will provide the most popular plugins such as the following:
Slack
BigPanda
HipChat
StatusPage.io
JIRA
Twilio
DataDog
New Relic
Elastic
You will also be able to create alert groups, ex. specific tests/monitoring can be mapped to specific groups.
Will update this space when it becomes available. Your feedback is helpful, what is your preferred method to be notified by?
Thanks!

push notification azure to FCM topics

I want to push notification messages from azure notification hub to the FCM using topics.
Example: I want to send a message to the FCM from notification hub. but this message will be directed to topics. When using postman for example, I just have to send this json:
{
"to" : "/topics/scalability",
"notification":{"body":"topics message sent"}
}
to https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send (while providing the FCM key ofcourse).
By doing this, I am able to receive the notification on a chrome app I put in place (the app is just the same as you can find here
Now my problem is that when I send this same message on Notification hub (Azure), I don't receive it on my web app. My understanding is that the Notification Hub does not push the message (json) in its simple format, but why is that ?
Since I successfully pushed the message to FCM, isn't the FCM supposed to interpret the
"to" : "/topics/scalability
part ?
I found a workaround. I send notifications using the simple version of the Notification hub method:
// Send the message to FCM NotificationOutcome outCome = await this.hubClient.SendGcmNativeNotificationAsync(payload).
I then receive all the messages from my chrome app
Azure Notification Hub supports registering tags with individual device. And you can use tag expressions to target specific sets of devices, or more specifically registrations, when sending a push notification through Notification Hubs. For targeting, you should use tag expression instead FCM ‘to’ property. Please see below article for more details on routing/expressions.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/notification-hubs/notification-hubs-tags-segment-push-message
I know this is an old question but I also was confused by this when starting my first Topics-based notification hub app, so hope this saves someone, somewhere some time. What SHOULD, in my opinion, be explicitly stated somewhere in the azure NH documentation, is that using the hub with PNS such as Firebase will OVERRIDE any PNS specific Topics functionality. My understanding is that if you decide to go the Hub route, you ditch Firebase Topics etc and work exclusively with Hub Tags.
If you think about it, it actually makes a lot of sense as it means the Hub is dealing with Topic filtering rather than firing off all messages and making the PNS systems do their individual things.
So in short, if you go the NH route, you cant use PNS topics, I found the two don't play nicely together.

Post to Node.js Server from Within HTML e-mail

I am writing a simple mailing application, however I am not yet aware of the full capabilities of HTML editing within the mailing world.
I would like to give the website administrator the choice to accept or to refuse a reservation by sending him an overview of the reservation. Below in the mail I had 2 buttons in mind, accept & refuse.
I tried using a form within the HTML e-mail but almost every mailing client blocks this out.
Is there another method to do a http post command to let's say myserver.com/accept or myserver.com/refuse from within an e-mail without having to open an additional webpage?
If not, what is the best way to achieve such things?
This is a pretty relevant article: https://www.sitepoint.com/forms-in-email/
Basically he concludes that support is not reliable so you should not use forms in emails which I agree with.
Since you say you want to give this choice to a website administrator I think you probably want some sort of authentication. So I could see it working something like this...
Send the admin an email containing two links mysite.com/reservations/:reservation_id/accept and mysite.com/reservations/:reservation_id/refuse.
Admin clicks on one of the links
Link opens in the browser and your site(controller -> ReservationService) accepts or refuses based on the id and action in the url
You will have a few things to consider, such as authentication(I assume you already have this since you have the notion of website admin?), authorization(can this admin accept or deny the reservation?), does the reservation exist, has the admin already accepted or denied the reservation, etc.
